Modular home used to mean a less-than-desirable living situation. But thanks to designers like Barry Jackson - whose Hivehaus is making waves - the term has new meaning. His modular, beehive-like housing system comes flat-packed and ready to assemble - pick as many rooms as you’d like. Individual hexagonal cells can be customized and connected, giving you all the room you need for you and your honey (girl) or honey (food). Each cell provides 100 square feet of floor space, and it’s enclosed by floor and walls made of 3.93 inch insulated timber frames. The inner and outer panels are fortified with polyurethane foam, and ”powder coated steel facing laminate” protects the whole thing from Ma Nature. Now, if you’re really serious about living the bee life, you’ll go off the grid with available solar panels, composting toilets, and rainwater harvesting.

Additional optional extras are also available to further customize your 'haus' – from hexagonal decks and removable slatted privacy screens to green roofs, .solar panels and composting toilets making it a serious option as a totally off grid living solution.
